Love 'em or hate 'em, these cars made a splash

Scion xB

For most young people with a license and few greenbacks in their savings account, the best they can hope for is a rusty heap of a used car or, maybe, a hand-me-down from Grandma in the form of a tan sedan decorated with seat doilies and more than its share of parking lot scrapes. We’re talking slim pickings, folks. Sure, there are a number of new cars on the market that these drivers would choose, but they’re either too expensive or marketed to an older generation; used cars are an obvious option, though they don’t come with that new car smell. Seeing an opportunity, Toyota launched its own youth-oriented brand in the mid 2000s, and set the automotive world abuzz with the boxy and basic Scion xB. Though it drew a surprising number of fans from the gray-haired demographic, the xB was successful in shining a light on young shoppers and testing styling boundaries.
